DESCRIPTION

Designed by Kuat Systems Engineering and Baktoid Fleet Supply, the Melodic Class Star Cruiser was envisioned to be a replace the centuries old Munificent Class Star Frigate in Techno Union mand Trade Federation flotilla's.

Taking into account the dangers of the galaxy on this day and age, in addition to the New Imperial Order's ongoing war with the Sith Empire, engineers within the Techno Union jumped at the chance to provide both the Order and the Trade Federation with not with a warship but a multi-role vessel.

Incorporating the very best of Kuat, the Melodic Class was the answer to the Unions quarry. Equipped with a healthy dose of weapons and with tough defenses, the Melodic is truly a sightmto behold.

While her agility was not top grade, the Melodic proved herself to be a fast starship during her initial test and was theoretically capable of surviving a ramming attack, yet this has never been proven.

In the end, the Melodic was more than adequate and was quick to be sold to the New Imperial Order, Galactic Alliance, and various other third-party organizations. After all, it was a cheap hut effective ship capable of a variety of mission profiles.

Tristan Evore , it would appear that every link but the "sensor drones" is broken or non-existent.

Affiliation:

• The Galactic Alliance
• New Imperial Order
• Closed-Market

• Production: Minor

Per our current rule set, minor production means that this submission can only belong to (or be used by) a single major faction. I think it would probably be easiest to simply change this to mass produced (though this will mean that a rating will need to be dropped somewhere).

Speaking of ratings and balance, this looks to be over-powered in its current form by one rating (this will mean that 2 ratings total will need to be dropped if it becomes a mass-produced submission).

• Hangar Space: Low
• Hangar Allocations:
  • Starfighters: Squadrons
  • Support Craft: 4 Squadrons

I think we may be missing a "0" in front of the "squadrons" under the starfighter subsection. It's worth noting that a low rating for 750 meter starships is actually 3 squadrons.

 

[Gir Quee]

Tristan Evore , what's the status of this submission?

 

[Tristan Evore]

Gir Quee

Fixed

 

[Gir Quee]

Tristan Evore , changes look solid and this is well-balanced now.

I'm not sure when this happened, but a bunch of the links here look they're gone (except for the sensor drones). Some of these aren't technically necessary if they're canon devices, but the manufacturers must definitely be linked to their company/faction page, and some of the Chaos canon tech (such as the hyperdrive) should be linked to their factory submissions.

 

[Gir Quee]

Tristan Evore , thought I'd poke you since it's been about a week. If you need more time to add the hyperlinks or make some other changes, let me know and I can move this to the pre-factory. Otherwise, I'll probably archive this if I don't hear from you in the next week.

 

[Tristan Evore]

Gir Quee

You can move it to Pre-Fac. There's a lot of details I want to change

 

[Gir Quee]

Tristan Evore moved accordingly. Let one of the Factory Staff know when you're ready to have it moved back for live judging.

 

[Tristan Evore]

Gir Quee

You can archive. Trying to clear my basket for future sub's, don't really have the vibe for this

Archiving per OP request.
